It doesn't take a mathematician to appriciate the beautiful use of angles in the North Star Apartments of Senec, Slovakia. And these striking lines don't just look pretty -they also serve very functional purposes, maximizing the amount of sunlight the apartments get while minimizing the traffic noise from outside.

The four-storey building was built on a low budget while incorporating high design principals. "The goal was to enrich this locality and create an iconic, easy to remember and original building, as an opposite to the patchy and chaotic surrounding development," said Tomas Zacek of Nice Architects.
